Continue to stir until the liquid has turned a rich brown color.
Then pour this mixture on to a greased the baking sheet.
Leave the mixture to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Smash the baking tray on your kitchen Counter a few times.
Then crush the caramel pieces it in a food processor or use a rolling pin.
You want it to crush so it still has some large pieces so you get this delicious crunch when you eat the ice cream. (see my video above or picture below)
Btw; the crushed caramel pieces are super delicious to sprinkle over vanilla ice-cream
